located in New York, and for years the high
hopes of making America great silk grow
ing country were abandoned
In $40, however, George w. Murray, Of
Northampton, Mass, bought the old building
at Paterson, N. j., in which Colt had manu-
featured revolvers, and put Mr.. Ryle in
charge of it to establish the manufacture of
silk. That city has ever since been his home,
and there he made and lost two or three for
tunes before establishing the industry on a
permanent basis 1t was largely through his
exertions that the tariff on raw silk was
abolished, and that on manufactured silk
raised by successive steps to 90 per cent. In
1916 he bought out Mr. Murray, and in few
years was manufacturing a fine quality of
silk. The panic of 1857 Frustrated him, but
he was soon on his feet again. On the 10th
of May, 1869, his vast establishment was de-
stroyed by fire, and as there was no insurance
the loss was about $500, 900. But moneyed
friends came promptly to his support, and
soon the Ryle Silk Manufacturing company
was in active operation. All these years he
was active in all public improvements. He
established the first water supply of
Paterson and presented a public park
to the people of that city. Various medals
attest his success in the several branches of
silk manufacture. He was twice married
and leaves four sons and daughter. He was
Democrat in politics, but when he ran for
mayor of Paterson the people laid aside poll
tics and gave him the largest majority ever
received for that office. In 1884, however,
when he ran against William Walter Phelps
for congress, party feeling asserted itself,
and Mr.. Ryle was defeated. He was an ex-
tremely valuable citizen, universally liked,
and his death is generally mourned in the
city he did so much to make

J. T. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,

says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly

THE LATE JOHN RYlE,
Father of the Silk industry of America.
His First Mill.

His First Mill.
The late John Ryle, the father of the silk
industry in Paterson, N. j., died, by strange
coincidence, at the place of his birth, Mac
clesfield England. He had gone to his native
land on tour for health, celebrated his 10th
birthday at his native place, and statement
from him that he was improving in health
was followed in a few days by a telegram an
nouncing his death. He was one of seven
teen children, of whom but five lived to ma
turity, and was born Oct. 90, 1917 When
only years old he was put to work in silk
mill-a fact wildly illustrating the progress
England has since made in humanity, as
children of tender years cannot now be
legally employed in that country. He was
left an orphan at the age of II, and toiled
steadily in the mills to the age of 81, getting
his entire education-the mere rudiments of
reading and writing-at a Sunday school,

Wonderful Tubers.

We were shown to-day a potatoe grown
on the ranch of Gus Seigli1g of upper
Belt creek that will probably beat all past
records. 1t consists of one massive CEN
trail potatoe surrounded by several smaller
ones all connected and forming a single
tuber, the weight of the whole being
sixteen pounds. Now if anyone can come
up to the chalk mark and display Il pota-
toe of greater weight, Mr.. Seigling will
be glad to give up the belt, but we are
inclined to think that he will hold it for
some time. This potatoe is of the early
Maine variety and from six pounds of
seed Mr.. Seigling raised this season a
crop of 1884 pounds, a record that is simp-
ly wonderful. He also secured this spring
three pounds of the Dunlnore variety
from which he raised 745 pounds.

most sixty miles in length, is now thickly
settled, and being the headquarters for
stockmen and also the abode of prosper.

means of transportation than at present

Frank Wilkeson, who is widely known
as trenchant writer, makes the follow

New York Times: "With arms up and
stripped to the waist for battle, the Mani
toba railroad corporation has entered
Montana. Its road is cheaply built and
skillfully managed. Its president, Mr..
Hill, of ST. Paul, is a long-headed, sagaci-
Gus fighter. He is on the ground. His
word is law. What he directs to he done
is done promptly. He has hundreds of
miles of roadbed graded and ready for the
rails, in the territory of the Union and
Northern Pacific railroad corporations
HE has invited them to fight and fight
they must. They cannot avoid the com
petitive warfare that the Manitoba corpor-
ton is forcing ON them. 1t has entered
the Rocky mountains to secure business
and it is going to- have a fair share Of the
